Description:

Join Migration and Refugee Services in celebration of World Refugee Day!

Did you know there are more than 50 million refugees and displaced people around the world, half of whom are women and children? Did you know we are living in the worst refugee crisis since WWII?

REFUGEES NEED OUR HELP...NOW.

Located right here in Brookland, Migration & Refugee Services (MRS) of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is the world’s largest non-governmental resettlement organization. MRS just celebrated its 50th anniversary and is proud to have helped over one million refugees fleeing persecution and violence start new lives in America. In this light, join us for two unique events highlighting the experiences of refugees worldwide and resettling in

the United States, and learn ways that you can be involved. 

Join us for food, drinks, and important conversation on this timely issue. Hear from refugees firsthand as they share their inspiring and heartbreaking personal stories, and learn from refugee resettlement experts as they ex- plain both the resettlement process and how you can help.
